A total of 20 craft beers, 12 hot sauces and
10 local eateries are set to be at the festival.
Pair local fare with hot sauces from the Northeast, and wash it down with a sampling of 20 delicious craft beers during Hop Sauce Festival at the Taylor Avenue Waterfront, situated between 9th St. and Taylor Ave. in Beach Haven, on Saturday, May 31, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The first-ever community event, a gathering of craft beer and spice enthusiasts, will offer mouth-watering food from Chicken or the Egg, Black Whale Bar and Fish House and other local restaurants. Live music will be performed throughout the day by The Lawsuits, The Brigantines, For the Foxes and more.
The event is presented by Spice It Up, which offers gourmet ingredients, including hot sauces and spices; Jetty Rock Foundation, a nonprofit arm of the locally based lifestyle brand Jetty committed to beautifying the community and directing aid to locals in need; as well as Shore Point Distributing Co., which offers a world-class line of micro, craft, domestic and imported beer products to much of New Jersey.
Tickets for the event cost $10. Children under 12 years old are eligible for free entry. A $25 beer sampling bracelet is also available for anyone 21 years of age and older. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Jetty Rock Foundation.
